Read moreThis was very disappointing. We came on New Years Eve, 2019, which can be a busy night for restaurants, but it’s no reason to treat customers like cattle, trying to get them in and out as quick as possible. I felt like the whole dinner was rushed. Anytime we asked our server, an older Asian man whom I think was actually Chinese, he seemed bothered by our questions and wasn’t helpful, or cheerful at all. Every time we finished our plates, within 30 seconds, they came by and took the finished plate immediately (which seems like attentiveness but actually felt like being rushed). The sashimi was overpriced. We had the small sake order to share which was okay. We also had the TOKYO friend chicken, fried oysters, edamame, bara chirashi bowl, and spicy tuna roll. The oysters were good but everything was average. Very disappointing for Japanese cuisine. At the end, we left a 10% tip because the quality of the food was average and service was bad - the server CHASED us out the restaurant demanding more tip. Overall, not worth the value...will not...
Read moreCame here for a business lunch, the place was super packed but hummed efficiency and organization with how it was managed. I ordered from their daily special menu and got the Tuesday special (Chirashi, an assortment of chef's choice Sashimi over a bed of sushi rice, highly recommend!). I think it is a good idea to always start with the daily special menu as they update it often and full of (good) surprises! You could always go back to the regular lunch menu if nothing interests you. Lunch special came with a miso soup and salad, within like 7 minutes of ordering! Very impressive with the speed! The Chirashi was beautiful, fresh and delicious! Great value for the price, $20? I had cuts from yellowtail, flute, tuna, salmon, scallops and one other unknown but delicious fish... Staff refilled my tea promptly through out lunch, didn't feel rushed at all, had a good conversation with my friend and managed to leave under an hour! Will definitely come back for other...
